Two members of BJP's IT cell in Varanasi were among three people arrested by Indian Police and identified as the alleged perpetrators of the gangrape of a 20-year-old student of Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (IIT-BHU) on campus.
The three young men have confessed to the crime, including disrobing and filming the survivor at gunpoint, and could be charged under the National Security Act and the UP Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, Kashi DCP R S Gautam said.
"After 60 days, the arrests of the goons revealed that the goons were special workers of the Benares technical cell of the BJP," the opposition parties said.
“Had it been before the Modi government, the vice-chancellor and the head of the B.Tech department would have been sacked by now,” Hindustan Times commented on the gangrape.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Ajay Rai commented 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' slogan by BJP is just a hollow slogan.
‘Rajiv Modi, Balesh Dinkar of Australia who was found guilty by the Australian court on all charges and others accused of rape are also special servants of Modi’, the opposition party.
The Modi government has included people involved in serious crimes in its party, leaders. Al Jazeera reported, an eight-year-old girl was gang-raped by BJP goons in front of the temple and BJP ministers came out in support of the accused by hoisting the flag in 2018.
“Ahead of the Gujarat elections in 2022, the BJP minister remained silent on the early release of the accused involved in the rape of Bilqis Bano on August 15,” the BBC reported.
How long will the Modi government remain silent on the inhumane acts of its own party workers?
